Definitions
- the invention pertains to a refractometer according to the preamble of Claim 1 for determining the refraction properties of an eye.
- Refractometers of this type are also frequently referred to as autorefractors and serve for measuring the refraction of an eye and, if applicable, the ametropia thereof from a distance.
- a light pattern is produced with the aid of an optical projection device, for example, light-emitting diodes, and projected on the retina of the eye.
- the projection of the light pattern is realized such that the light pattern is focused on the retina.
- the light pattern reflected on the retina is viewed through the eye lens by means of an optical viewing device that comprises a photoelectric sensor, for example, a video camera, such that an image pattern is projected on the photoelectric sensor.
- This image pattern is recorded with the photoelectric sensor and evaluated with an evaluation device, preferably digital image data processing software.
- the light pattern projected on the retina is characteristically distorted in accordance with the refraction properties of the eye such that the refraction properties of the eye can be derived by evaluating the degree of distortion.
- One important aspect for the correct derivation of the refraction properties is that the eye is arranged a certain distance from the refractometer. Deviations in the distance between the eye and the refractometer result in a correspondingly altered distortion of the light pattern on the photoelectric sensor such that these deviations lead to measuring errors in the determination of the refraction properties.
- DE 101 53 397 A1 describes a refractometer system that also features a measuring unit for determining the distance between the device and the patient.
- the data obtained from the distance measurement can be used for positioning the patient correctly in front of the device. It would therefore also be conceivable to incorporate the distance information into the evaluation and thusly correct the refraction measurement data accordingly.
- Suitable measuring systems for determining this distance are described in DE 101 53 397 A1 and respectively consist of an ultrasonic transceiver and an optical distance measuring system, in which a light pattern is projected on the forehead of the person being examined in order to measure the distance between the forehead and the measuring system.
- the present invention aims to propose a new refractometer with integrated distance measuring device that eliminates the disadvantages of the prior art.
- the distance measuring device provided in the refractometer should be suitable for measuring the distance between the refractometer and the eye to be examined because only this distance is important for the correction of the measuring data. Only the utilization of this distance data that describes the distance between the eye and the refractometer makes it possible to respectively position the patient correctly or to properly correct the refraction measurement data.
- the measuring accuracy can be improved if the distance measuring device makes it possible to measure the distance between the refractometer and the cornea of the eye, particularly the front surface of the cornea and/or the rear surface of the eye.
- the distance measuring device also makes it possible to measure the distance between be refractometer and the lens of the eye, particularly the front surface of the lens and/or the rear surface of lens.
- the distance measuring device may essentially be realized arbitrarily. It proved particularly advantageous with respect to the measuring accuracy to utilize a distance measuring device that comprises a slit projection device for the slit illumination of the eye and a Scheimpflug camera for recording split images of the eye.
- a distance measuring device that comprises a slit projection device for the slit illumination of the eye and a Scheimpflug camera for recording split images of the eye.
- An evaluation of the image data of the split images recorded with the Scheimpflug camera makes it possible to derive the distance between the refractometer and the eye with extremely high accuracy.
- the evaluation of the split images also makes it possible to measure the distance to the front surface or the rear surface of the cornea as well as the distance to the front surface or the rear surface of the lens.
- the refractometer utilizes a Scheimpflug camera for the distance measurement
- said camera may naturally also be utilized for carrying out conventional tacheometric measuring tasks. For example, it would also be possible to derive the thickness of the cornea tissue from of the split images.
- a second optical projection device and a second optical projection device and a second optical viewing device may also be integrated into the refractometer, wherein the second optical projection device forms a keratometer in cooperation with the second optical viewing device and a suitable evaluation device.
- the measuring markings of the keratometer that form part of the projection device may essentially be realized arbitrarily. It is particularly preferred if two collimated light spots and an essentially circular, non-collimated light strip are provided as measuring markings in the projection device of the keratometer.
- the collimated light spots are preferably produced with light-emitting diodes that are arranged in a tubular body, wherein lenses are respectively arranged in front of the light-emitting diodes.
- the circular non-collimated light strip is preferably produced with an optical waveguide element in the shape of a circular cylinder.
- the light of an illuminating means is coupled into the optical waveguide element on the rear face and/or the cylinder circumference and emerges from the optical waveguide element on the front face.
- the illuminating means for the optical waveguide element in the shape of a circular cylinder may also consist of light-emitting diodes that are preferably distributed over the circumference of the optical waveguide element in the shape of a circular cylinder.
- the light source used for producing the light pattern in the optical projection device of the refractometer may essentially be realized arbitrarily. Infrared light sources proved particularly advantageous in this respect.
- a pin diaphragm is preferably provided in the optical viewing device of the refractometer.
- the photoelectric sensors in the different viewing devices of the refractometer or the Scheimpflug camera or the keratometer may essentially be realized arbitrarily. It is preferred to utilize video sensors that convert the recorded image data into a video signal and forward the video signal to downstream functional units. It is particularly cost-efficient if the video sensors consist of chip cameras, particularly CCD cameras.
- the video signal of the video sensor should preferably have a digital data format in order to easily process the digital image data.
- a set-up camera or a view camera should be provided in the refractometer in order to easily align the eye to be examined before the beginning of the measurement and to view the eye during the examination.
- the set-up camera can be simultaneously used as a view camera during the measurement.
- the optical viewing device of the keratometer can also be used as a set-up camera or a view camera, respectively.
- FIG. 1 shows the schematic design of one embodiment of a refractometer according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows the beam path of a refractometer 01 for carrying out measurements on the eye 02 .

- the refractometer 01 furthermore comprises an adjustably supported fixation marking 14 , the beam path of which is coupled by means of a separating plate 15 .
- a distance measuring device In order to determine the distance of the eye 02 relative to the refractometer, a distance measuring device is provided that consists of a slit projection device 16 and a Scheimpflug camera 17 .
- the slit projection device 16 and the Scheimpflug camera 17 are arranged in accordance with the Scheimpflug rule such that the split images recorded with the Scheimpflug camera 17 are suitable for determining the distance between the refractometer 01 and the eye 02 by means of image data analysis.
- the image data analysis of the split images of the eye 02 makes it possible, in particular, to determine the distance of the refractometer 01 to the cornea of the eye, particularly the front surface or rear surface of the cornea, as well as the distance of the refractometer 01 from the lens of the eye, particularly the front surface of the lens or the rear surface of the lens.
